ONE WAR TRAGEDY.
Recalling an Incident of the B ma
bardnient OF Charleston, y. G.

On April %, 1868, in Charleston, S. c.,
at the residence of Gov. Pickens, says the
Atlanta Constitution. party was assembled
to witness the marriage of Annie Pickens
to Lieut. LIE Rochelle.
1t was time when terror and anguish
was prevailing through the entire South.
and the booming of the Union guns then
r0ared in the harborS, but the little number
who had collected together had determined
to smile even though their hearts were ach-
ing and they were trembling with terror.
Beneath the soft light of the chandelier the
clergyman stood with the habil iments
of the church enshrouding his venerable
form. Before him was the noble young
lieutenant in his official uniform, while be-
side him leant the beautiful and stately
woman who was to become his wife. There
she stood regal and sproud, possessing
everything that prestige of birth. rank and
wealth could give. Are you ready"
asked the minister, unclasping his book
Yes" said LIE Rochelle, taking the hand
of his bride. Scarcely was the answer
uttered when there was an awful crash A
shell from the enemy's guns had penetrated
the mansion, bursting into the midst of the
marriage scene and scattering its deadly
missiles around; men trembled and women
screamed, mirrors were ShlVered, and for
moment the walls seemed to rock to and
fro. In a few moments quiet reigned, and
it was ascertained that the only fatal
wound received was in the left
temple of the waiting bride, who
lay like a beautiful crushed flower
in the arms of her agonized lover.
Laying her on a lounge he bent over
her. and in moan of despair, prayed that
even in death she would become his wife.
Her quck-drawn breath melted in sigh as
the lips smiled assent. There she lay, pure
and white as the cluster of camelas at her
breast while the crimson life-tde oozed in
heavy drops from the death wound in her
brow and coursed its stream over the lovely
cheek, marring the snowy clouds of her
bridal veil that enveloped her. The cere-
mony was of few words, and the Eyes" was
murmured in dying whisper beneath the
husbands kiss In moment all was over,
a little struggle and she was dead.
Beneath cool deep shadows of the mag
nolia Annie Pickens LIE, Rochelle was laid to
rest, where the sad wall of the waters
sighed an eternal requiem, while the brave
young soldier went his way. in the fire and
danger of battle, to serve his country and
his God. He little feared the sword or the
bullet of war, for ever at his heart there
was wound more cruel than death and
lasting as life.

A GREAT MISTAKE

Has heretofore been made in the treatment
of rheumatism, neuralia, and nervous or
sick headache. This is evidenced by the
failure on the part of thousands of sufferer
to find relief, even though they have ex-
hausted the skill of various physicians and
tried numerous So-called remedies. To
such Athlophoros is offered as a Safe, Sure
and quick cure. Its success has been phe-
nomenal, and yet it is not surprising, be-
cause it will do all that is claimed for it.
The Athlophoros company will gladly refer
any who desire to make an investigation to
reliable parties who have been cured by it.

They Knew the Flag.
Chicago Journal.


l once saw young soldier who belonged
to battery of artillery engaged in patching
the holes in his guidon Ia markers tlag)
with cloth from the lining of his uniform.
When asked him why he spent SO much
time to mend that old flag, his answer was,
that as we are SO far from the base of sup
plies he could not geta new one, and that
when the battery went into action with thir-
ty-siX horses and six guns. he always stuck
the pike of the guidon into the ground
where the battery was to form. and even if
the man who rode the leading horse was
killed or disabled, and the noise of battle
was SO great that the bugle call could not be
heard. the horses would wheel around the
flag and execute the maneuvre known as
by left into line.' and bring the muzzles of
the six guns on a line with the flag, and
then, as soon as the guns were unlimbered,
he would again place it about 200 PAGES to
the rear, and the horses would gallop to the
rear with the caissons aid halt again on
line with 1t.

He Welded a Red-Hot Pen.
ChioOpo Herald

Said a commercial traveller: my bust
ness calls me good deal to Colorado and
New Mexico, and 1 have many acuuaint-
ances and friends out there. One of my
friends is little fellow named McDer-
mott, editor of mining camp paper. He
is not much bigger than pint of cider,
but he has tremendous nerve. He is as
quick as lightning with his gun, and is
not afraid of the best man that walks. He
was telling me of one experience he had
a few months ago. A big, tough fellow
walked into his sanctum one even
ing and announced that he had come to
do up the editor. He had sX-shooter in
his hand, and advanced with it cooked 1t
happened that my friend had just sent his
revolver out to be repaired and he was with
out weapon. He tried to palaver with the
desperate and talk him out of his passion
in order to gain time. But the more he
talked the fiercer the caller became. Sus-
pecting that the editor was unarmed, he
took fiendish delight in holding his victim
covered with his revolver. and telling him
that he had only sixty minutes to live. But
my friends brain was working at a lively
rate all this time, and while he talked he
held his pen in the flame Of the gas jet over
his desk.
Without the desperate suspecting what
he was up to he succeeded in getting the
pen red hot-it took only few seconds
and then he made jump for his assaiant
so suddenly and with such cat-like quick
ness that before the ruffian, taken off his
guard by the supposition that the editor
was unarmed, could fire shot, the little
man had thrown one arm around the big
fellows neck, and was iabbing his red-hot
pen into his face at the rate of 200 strokes
to the minute. Imagine the wounds that
big. sharp. red-hot pen must have made,
held securely in strong celluloid holder,
driven by the arm of man fighting for
lifo. Think of the sufferings the desperate
must have endured in the few brief seconds
before his agony conquered his courage and
caused him to throw the revolver to the
floor as token that he gave up the battle
That ruffian--he was drunk on that occa-
sion-is now one of the best friends the
little editor has, though his face is badly
SCARED from the wounds inflicted on him.
over the desk of my friend now hangs a
pen, still covered with blood stains its
whole length, and over it is placard,
written in the blood that was formed upon
it just after the battle:

search of the girl Lillian Snavely, divulged
further facts bearing on the cause of her

Lillian was the daughter of wealthy parents
in Sterling, and was left Sc, 900 on the
death of her father. She was sent to an
art school in Chicago, where she met M. II.
Davidson. who represented himself to be a
wealthy cattle man from Texas. Davidson
had learned that the girl had good deal of
money, and entered into scheme with two
associates, G. l.. Watson and NJ. II. Bell,
to gain her confidence and defraud her of
it. Watson was introduced to Miss SnaveIy,
and in less than three days she consented
to marry him. The girls folks at Sterling

her mother was very ill. She returned to
Sterling, accompanied by Watson. On

very indignant, and was shortly afterward
surreptitiously married to Watson and
went with him to Chicago. He got all the
money from her he could, and when she re-
fused to give him any more, left for the
East. Davidson then went to Mrs. Watson.

another in New York city. and induced her

New York Sun.
John Groat is said to have come from
Holland to Caithness, Scotland, in 1s49;
with him came his brothers. They owned
land in Caithness, and increased and null
tiplied until there were eight families.
Once year they all met in the first house
they had built. At one meetln g the ques-
ton of precedence was raised, and there
was almost fight. John OGroats, as the
Scotch called him, who seems to have had
the most level head of them all, settled the
matter temporarily then, and said that next
year he would settle it finally. When the
time for the next meeting came John
O'Groats had built an eight-sided house with
eight doors and windows; in the middle of
the house he put a round table. BY this
means all struggles for precedence were
avoided
